Colour coding used on the Route Strategies
We have used a colour-coding system throughout the Route Strategies to
identify the type of scheme.
Work already committed to in previous
Network Management Statements
These are schemes we have already committed to deliver in previous
Statements including the West Coast Route modernisation and
Thameslink 2000.
New proposals made in this NMS
These new proposals fall into three packages:
Package 1 – Commercial. These are schemes that do not require public
sector funding and in which we have sufficient control of the outputs to be
able to take long-term demand risk. They require no up-front agreement with
any public sector body – other than understanding of their treatment for
regulatory purposes.
Package 2 – Partnership. These are also schemes where we wish to take
demand risk but they require agreement with a funder for ‘pump priming’
investment before they can proceed.
Package 3 – Contractor. These schemes are generally unsuitable for us to
take any demand risk, although we would take appropriate construction risk.
Many of these projects are station schemes.
Feasibility Studies
These are proposals that, at the publication of this NMS, have not yet been
subjected to sufficient feasibility analysis to determine whether and how they
should proceed. These schemes will be analysed during the next 12 months
and the outcomes reported on in the 2000 NMS.
(E) This project has been awarded European funding.
